Topic and reader
Working title, intended audience, practical question and a short outline with three to five useful sections.
Publish a software article
with something useful to say.
Bring a practical idea, a product workflow or a well-developed draft. This is the place to pitch SaaS and business-software content to SoftwareRadar.
WRITE FOR US ABOUT SOFTWARE
Start with a reader’s problem.
We consider practical explainers, implementation stories, product walkthroughs and comparisons relevant to business-software buyers. Vendors, subject specialists, agencies and PR representatives can propose a topic.
Make the article useful to someone deciding, implementing or improving a workflow. A specific question is easier to assess than a broad promotional introduction.

A BRIEF WE CAN ASSESS
What to send with your proposal.
You do not need a finished article to enquire. A clear outline and the relevant materials help us agree the right scope.
Product and evidence
Official product links, the relevant plan or version, factual support and any demo material you can provide.
Author and representation
Author name, role, relevant experience and the company or advertiser you represent. Identify any commercial involvement.
Draft and assets
Say whether you have a draft or need production. Include authorised draft links and explain screenshot, logo and image permissions.
Publication requirements
Preferred timing, intended next step for the reader, any necessary factual review and the people responsible for approval.
Budget and scope
Proposed budget, production needs and revision expectations. A pitch creates no purchase or publication commitment.
MAKE THE IDEA SPECIFIC
A stronger pitch gives us a working brief.
Replace “an article about our CRM” with a defined workflow and reader. Include the capabilities and limitations that affect the decision, then identify the material available to explain them.
The example beside this text is an illustrative pitch, not a published client project. Adapt its structure to your product and expertise.

REVIEW AND PUBLICATION
Keep the process clear.
We review proposals for relevance, originality, factual support and fit with the publication. Explain the limits of any supplied demonstrations or data, and distinguish proposed examples from measured results.
For commissioned work, article format, fee, revisions, placement, publishing terms and timing are agreed before production. Submitted material is not automatically accepted or published.
Article enquiries use our publishing policy and privacy notice. Product-profile requests have their own software listing route.
Before you send
- One clear reader question
- A specific outline and working title
- Support for product and comparison claims
- Permission to share the supplied material
- Your role, budget and preferred timing
Keep private customer data, passwords and confidential account details out of the enquiry.
Article submission questions
How do I submit a software article proposal?
Use the proposal form with your working title, target reader, outline, product links, author or representative details, proposed commercial arrangement and timing. A downloadable brief is available on this page.
Can I submit a completed draft?
Yes. Include a short summary and a shareable draft link you are authorised to provide. Explain who wrote it, who it represents and which screenshots or other materials can be published. A submitted draft is reviewed before acceptance.
What topics fit SoftwareRadar?
Practical business-software workflows, buying decisions, implementation, migration and category explainers fit the publication. A strong pitch solves a specific reader problem and supplies enough product detail to assess the claims.
Is submitting a pitch a publication order?
No. An enquiry creates no publication commitment or payment. Article scope, fee where applicable, revisions, placement and timing must be agreed before commissioned work starts.
